To THE COMRADES OF CoRpAL
DIX PosT G.. A. R.-Pending final
action by Congress at the last ses-
sion, upon the pension bill for dis
abled veterans and dependent pa
rents, the assertion was made by
the opponents of such legislation,
that there had been no general
expression by the veterans in fav-
or of the provisions of the bill,
and even the bold claim made that
the best sentiment of the soldiers
and sailors was opposed thereto.
The National Pension committe of
the Grand Army has prepared a
pension bill embodying in degree,
all of the general recommends
tions heretofore made by it, except
such as have already become law,
and the two special provisions
re-encampment of the arrears law
and equalization of bounties which
will be separately presented.
Circular No. 5, National Head
quarters Grand Army of the Re-
public dated at Madison Wiscon-
sin, June Sd, 1887, recomends that
a vote be taken in each post of the
G. A. R., after reading the bill and
each comrade have opportunity to
give his opinion of this bill upon
Its own merits. 1t is especially
desirable that when this matter is
acted upon there should be full
attendance. Remember comrades
that our first duty is to care for
the disabled and suffering. Moth
ing should stand in the way of that.
To that end the comrades of Cor
pal Dix Post will take notice that
at our next regular meeting which
will be on Thursday night July
7th, 1887. The bill as prepared
by the National Committee will be
presented for your consideration
and vote taken to indorse its
provisions or reject them and that
all will have an opportunity to let |
their opinions be known.

Tile only bills that get

promptly passed the oppropria-
ton of an additional $4,000.

during the past week was favor

some localities more rain is need

of oats and meadows have
been improved by the recent
rains. The wheat crops of Cali

Weather Prediction for July, 1887

July, 1887, will be pretty hot in
a good part of the country, though
the month will not be excessively
hot as compared with other years.
There will generally be rain
enough in local storms and show
ers, and in few places it will be
excessive; but the dry spots will
be larger and more numerous than
in June. There will be no gen.
al drouth, though there will be
several local ones of considerable
severity"
There will be times when there
will be great concentrations Of
rain In spots, but there will also at
the same time be other spots OF
considerable extent where twill
be very dry, but there will be no
general drouth in the great Mis-
slssippi Valley. While many
places will have dry weather for
harvesting, yet there will be wet
and damp weather in some places
during June and July; and we
think part of the hay and grain
will be damaged. While the wet
In places will be nice for corn and
grass and even wheat and oats till
harvest, yet it will be damaging
during harvest in spots.

Scotland county has a better
crop prospect to-day than ever
before in its history. We have
taken some pains to enquire of
farmers from the four corners of
the county, about the prospect,
and the universal response is,
splendid, never better" Meadows
have been cut a little short in
some localities for the want of a
good heavy rain, and in other
places they have had an abundance.
Wheat is now being harvested and
it Is better than was ever raised
before in the county. Oats are
little short, but bid fair to make
an average crop. Corn never look
ed bettsr at this season of the year.
1t is clean, well advanc I'D, of good
rich color and is booming aSead
nicely. Potatoes are promising
and with good rains, will make a
good yield. Our farmers are en-
couraged, and feel good, as COM
pared with last year.-R eveille.

day what was put down on the menu as
"Spatchcook and mashed potatoes.
and when ii was brought me l found
II to be small bit of chicken with
potato. The walters here are all Japan
ese girls, and very pretty. They pos
sess thick, glossy hair, and dazzling
teeth. Their costumes are very much
la "Mikado," but more open in the
neck. Only recently very proper"
American lady took IL into her head
that they knew no better. and. provid-
ing herself with paper, went about
the streets pinning together the dresses
of all the girls she could capture. This
caused much establishment and amuse'
ment in the town, and the quck-witted
Japs gave her an unpronounceable
name which. being translated, signiii-
eth the great American pinner."
The walters, as rule, know but lit
tie English, so the dishes on the menu
are numbered, and one orders by num-
bers, which is not bad way OF doing.
They receive no wages, but are entire
ly dependent upon gratuities, which
renders them very attentive and smil-
ing. When you want servant you 90
to the door and clap your hands, and
instantly you hear cry of "Hi'' and
pattering of bare feet on the floor.
The needlework which some of our
ladies are busy with seems TO possess
the greatest fascination for the girls
employed about the house, and if they
were allowed they would spend hours
in silently gazing at it or admiringly
inspect ng the marvellous arrangement
of the strangers hair. In all their
housekeeping methods the Japanese
women are extremely neat, and in the
house they wear no shoes, but thick
socks, if they wear anything ut all on
their feet. In the street they wear
clogs, which lift the foot from the
ground and keep it clean. We shall
remain here two weeks longer and then
90 on to Nikko, where the famous tenn
pies are. although we shall all be sorry
to leave this charming little place and
the refreshing hot baths.

UnSkilful Workmen.

The apprentice system fifty years
ago has long since been entirely aban-
doned, and the common remark now
adays, that skilled workmen are
scarce, says The Practical Mechanic, is
not particularly strange. Boys who
go to work at any of the mechanical
trades, nowadays, are apt in most
cases to cheat themselves and perma-
nently impair their future usefulness, by
quitting after few weeks or after
few months service, and seeking en-
ployment elsewhere as skilled work
men, when in fact they at best acquired
but a smattering of some of the sim
plest details of their trade. The tend
ency of such a course is to put these
incompetent workmen on level, in
one sense, with the older and far more
skilful portion of shops working
force, or rather the tendency Is to
drag the skilled workmen down to the
level of the other class. The object OF
the incompetent class is not to do as
much work as poss bic and do it as well
as possible, but to get through the
working hours and do as little as pos
sible, and when they find in an estab-
lishment true-blue thorough work.
man who does fair days work and
does it well, the incompetent sbriks
are read to combine to reduce
the faithful, intelligent workmen
to their own incompetent level. The
great fault with many labor organ
izations is the fact that they are in too
many cases filled up with this incom-
petent class, who adopt that method of
backing themselves up, in their lack of
skill and faithfulness. They are m
ply pretenders. who know but little of
their trade, manifest little disposition
to learn more of it, and when at work
are constantly in danger of spelling
work. thereby entrailing needless ex-
pense upon their employers, and often
causing annoyance and expensive de-
lays.
A skilled workman is given the best
work, because the management has
confidence in his ability to perform 1t,
but this very fact excites jealousy
among the skillful workman's incom-
petent shopmates. and he very soon
becomes the object of their dislike. IL
not of their positive hatred. His en-
ployers dare not pay him according to
his merits. for that would increase
the general disaffection, and so If he de-
sircs to have peace with his fellow
workmen he must sink down to their
level. Business is unsettled in the
whole labor market by the discon-
tinuance of the old apprentice system.
By that system all workmen would be
compelled to possess a degree OF skill
and efficiency which would exalt mer il
to its proper standard. and thereby ef-
fectually do away with the pickering
and iealousies which are the result OF
lack Of merit
